Coffee Beer: Barista Brew By Blackstone Brewing

The first taste of the Barista Brew gives you a nice coffee flavor, with again, a medium body that closer resembled a porter, but still had a nice mouthfeel. Not oily, rather sweet, and the aftertaste is that citrus punch from the Frothy Monkey Brunch Blend. I’d say this is one of the better straight coffee stouts I’ve had, not too thick, not too light, coffee flavor isn’t too roasty and the beer highlights the coffee, instead of letting it play in the background. I would like to note that they also have a Mocha Stout, which surprisingly comes in at a lower ABV. Either way, check this out if you find one around you, or find yourself in Nashville.
